This is an older park, now owned by Thousand Trails. It is home to a few longtime permanent or semi-permanent residents. That often makes for some very interesting conversations with your neighbors. Our site, while concrete and level, was needing repair for broken edges. It didn’t effect our stay, but the park does need some work. There is plenty of room at each site to put the awning out and relax. Our site backed up to the railroad tracks, but we are beginning to wonder if there are any parks that aren’t set next to railroad tracks!
The hot tub in our section of the park seemed never to be open, and the pool on the other side of the park was on the small side.
The park served our needs well. You will need to drive to Portland or Vancouver, though public transit is available. It also is close to the west end of the Columbia River and the west side of the Gorge. Easily accessible for day trips. There are also regional parks within close distance either by walking or bike riding. Fort Vancouver and the Land Bridge are a short drive away to visit.
It appears the RVontheGo is managing Thousand Trails reservations. At check in the staff expressed some frustration the system relating to site assignments. The system had us elsewhere than where the park staff assigned us.
WiFi was reliable and fast.

The staff is very friendly, and they found us a spot in a pinch. She was nice enough to make sure we got a spot where cell signal and WiFi would be good due to work.
The spaces are tight, I mean very tight. The rules state no aggressive breed dogs but the neighbor (permanently living there) had one. She went as far as telling my husband that the dog must be introduced or it’s aggressive. Unfortunately my husband was only trying to hook up the sewer hose. That’s how close everyone is. Lots of live in’s really close to the front with unsightly spaces.
Laundry room is dirty, and people wash their dog stuff in the washers leaving dog hair behind.
Was very close to all there is to do in or around Portland.

Part of the Trails Collection, but has a $20/night charge. Arrival was super easy and no problem finding site. Location is great for exploring Portland area. Walmart and shopping close by. Staff were responsive, friendly and very helpful. There were some branches hitting my slide and they were out and had them trimmed within hours of me reporting it. Wifi strength was excellent and bandwidth was great for Netflix/Roku streaming as well as video conferencing. As others have posted, there is a lot of air traffic noise + street noise, but that will not deter me from staying here again due to the location and the fact the park is so well managed.

We worked at this RV park back in 2014 so we were familiar with it already. Overall, this park is very pretty and well maintained. The sites are close but still very nice with grass and a picnic table. We didn't go in any of the restrooms or the laundry but I remember them to be fine. The railroad tracks go right past this park at the very back. I remember the incredible noise from before but didn't notice it much this time. Perhaps the trains have had to slow down past this area but I don't really know.
At any rate, I would definitely come here again. We stayed here in our Airstream and used our Thousand Trails membership.

This is a big park but appears to be well managed. Office staff was helpful and pleasant to deal with. The nightly rate was $62 per night however Good Sam or AAA will get you a small discount. There were a lot of full time residents in the park who were all very friendly.

This is a great park. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars was the lack of off leash dog areas and dog waste disposal. We have stayed here several times. The management is considerate and accommodating. The sites are laid out nice (a little more concrete in this rainy area would be good though). We have been through all the portland parks and for a “big rig”, this is the only place for us.

We think there must be a lot of load on the nearby cell towers because our speeds were all over the place. Park wi-fi was useless as is expected in most campgrounds.
The Good --------
Great location
Clean and quiet park
Nice, clean pool, but it's tiny
Great laundry room with plenty of machines that accept credit cards
You can have USPS, Fedex, and UPS delivered there
Facilities were very clean
Outdoor areas were maintained very well
The Bad --------
Sites are really crammed together, we couldn't even put our awning out if we wanted to park at our site.
Staff was kind of unfriendly (but they were always very professional and courteous)
We were parked right at the front of the park by the road and the road noise was awful - all day and night it was like camping underneath a freeway overpass
Lots of permanent residents, so it had a bit of a trailer park feel, but it was all kept up nicely, nothing run down

If you look online (yelp and others), you'll see after many reviews, this RV park averages about 2.5. I couldn't figure it out when I first got here because it looks nice (though RVs are packed in like sardines), but after only a couple days and several interactions with staff, I completely understand the negative things said.
I like to stay places for a month at a time and I find places with monthly rates. Before coming to Fairview Portland RV Park, I've never paid more than $550.
Fairview advertises a monthly rate of $645 but it is a lie. Once you get here, you learn they add on $50 for water and trash. Then another $75 for electric. Then another $50 for taxes. Then another $30 because all monthly rentals require a background check.
Then after a week when the background check was complete, I had to go back to the office to sign a 6 pages lease agreement. Took 15 minutes to complete it and I had to have proof of insurance. It was absolutely ridiculous fo a 30 day stay. I've never gone through anything like this or anything even close.And, yes, as others have said, the staff is completely rude during all interactions.The owner drives around on a golf cart all day looking for people and RVs that aren't inline with the rules.
There are several levels to the campground (it has about 400 sites). The upper level is where those coming for just a few night are put. That's the nicest though as I understand from others there is a lot of theft (particularly bikes) on the upper level because how close it is to the street. Long term parking which is where I was assigned (and, it seems, most RVers live here--there are even a few tiny houses) is on the lower level. The lower level is right next to the train, under the Portland flight path and has a constant low-level sewage smell. Also the bottom level has terrible connectivity even with my hotspot and booster.
Even though it was in the 70s ad 80s when I got here, they'd already closed the pools. The bathhouse and laundry room were cleaned regularly. And it is convenient to Portland.
I can tolerate a lot, but the fact they they are so deceptive about the cost (and way overpriced) added to the rude staff makes me know I'll never stay here again.

This place was beautifully landscaped and well maintained. They have the greenest RV Park grass I have seen in a long time and each site has a good amount of space: a parking pad for your TV, a single tree, a picnic table and the sites were long enough for coaches of all sizes. There is a pool but it closed the day we got there and the restrooms had plenty of stalls and showers. The area around the park is a little lacking but we made the best of it by walking down the road to the coffee shack at Celebrities, checked out Gresham which has a cute downtown area and of course paid a couple of visits to the MUST GO --> Mcmenamins Edgefield. Check it out, you'll thank us later. Multnomah and Bridal Veil falls are a short hop away and of course you are only a $30 Uber ride away from downtown Portland or a 20 min drive. Check out our website (https://trav.elish.net) if you want a guide for all the stuff we got up to while there and a nice map to accompany it :)
For you full time workers out there... here are our stats:
Digital nomad rating: 3
Wifi rating: 4 - Public wifi available in rec room and sites (can only vouch for front sites - we were in 26). Speeds not consistent - ranged from >1 to 7 mbps DL and UL. Was strong enough to work from but dropped from time to time and definitely slowed in the evenings.
Verizon data: 2 - Connection to tower strong (as evidenced by the signal strength below) but must be over flooded with users as the speeds really sucked. As in we couldn't work from it most days and had to use the just as iffy wifi. Speeds: DL ~2.4 mbps, UL: ~ 2.04 mbps. Sometimes less, sometimes a bit more.
Workspace rating: 3 - There is a rec room but it is just that. If you had to work from here you could but it is small, dusty and not ideal for working (tables/chairs etc).
Access to data rating: 3 - If you are looking for a cafe I would head into the city or to Gresham. Fairview is more of a Target type town, not much in the ways of local owned coffee shops to spend your days at.
